This is definitely a head-scratcher!
On my (Hub Mob) topic about vintage plumbing fixtures, Google has placed ads relating to voip and cell phones; on my (Hub Mob) topic about animal vs. human rights, they have placed plumbing ads!!

I thought the ads were supposed to be relvant to the hub's topic!!
Neither of these are new hubs by any stretch--they are both well over 2 months old!
WTH????

I know we are all here to make some money, but having 10 ads on a page slows down loading time to such an extent that readers just don't have the patience to wait for a page to load. So they click away without reading our pages. To prove my point that the very high number of ads is to...
